One has most excellent opportunity
to study ''man" as represented by the
average New Workers. Among the
wealthy classes. very many of them have
the waxy skin, dropslcal flesh, and
"puffy eyes" that are Indicative of serious
kidney affection. "Bright's disease" is
plainly written on their faces. Since
General Logan's death the subject of
rheumatism is being discussed by the
medical profession.
Every Intelligent person, with any
knowledge of the human system, is we'll
aware that if the kidneys are in good
condition all unnecessary material is
regularly carried off by them. If not,
various acids, such as uric acid, one of
the chief causes of rheumatism, are left
in excess, creating deposits that cause
all sorts of chronic organic diseases.
1t would seem, therefore, that rheumat-
ism, like dropsy, is not disease, but
the result of q disease, and it is safe to
say that if the stomach and kidneys are
kept in healthful condition, there Will be
no deaths from rheumatism.
General Logan WAS we'll aware that his
uibStSt was VI tuc hlUHSN, dDu Oucc "a
pressed himself in indignant terms at
the folly of doctors treating him for
rheumatism, when it was the kidneys
| that caused his attacks. The high living
and the excuses IN all things, prevalent
among wealthy men in large cities,
especially in New York, is the chief
cause for Bright's disease, and the
| aristocratic trouble known as rheumatism
| even as insufficient and improper food
bring about the same results among the
very poor.
The above article, which we reproduce
because of it's general interest, is very
significant. The public believes that
rheumatism is an effect of diseased blood,
| this disease being caused by uric acid or
| kidney poison. Enough of this is devel,
oped daily to kill several men, and if II
| is not removed by the kidneys as fast as
| formed, it gradually ruins the health.
This fact is a scientific demonstration.
1t doctors do not admit it, it is pro-
| badly because they do not wish to attract
attention to the menace deranged kid
neys offers to the general health, since
| they have DO authorized specific fol
| these organs.
| General Logan knew what his real
trouble was, and he recognized the non
sense of treating the eftects-the real
seat of the disease was the kidneys.
| Senator Sittig, of Illinois, whose vote
| elected Logan senator after four months
of balloting, tells rs that Logan often
complained to him of great distress in
his kidneys. Disease IF the kidneys
always produces rheumatism, and be-
sides that, it causes paralysis, apoplexy,
| impotency, stomach and blood disorders,
| brain troubles, female complaints and
| countless other diseases which would
almost never develop if the blood waf
kept free of uric acid or kidney poison
These facts the public recognizes ever
though medical gentlemen, for very
evident reasons, will not publicly &C
| knowledge them lest, perchance, some
proprietary medicine, like Warmers safe
cure, now admitted to be the only
scientific specific, will get the benefit.
File on such bigotry 1t has beer
authoritively stated time and again that
there can be no real sound health il
there is any false action of the kidneys
| Insurance companies refuse millions Of
risks on this ground alone, hence it l,
that there is such universal popularity
given to the great preparation named
popularity that is based upon intrinsic
| merit.
Too much dependence upon profes
sional advice, especially in matters ovei
which medical men admit they have nc
power. too often results very disastrously
but of what use to the victim is expert
ence gained by fatal Disaster
| How much better it is to be guided by
an unprecedented public opinion in suck
matters.
Had Logan been so guided, he NIGH
have been spared many years.
